Bodge JobsIf you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

hey, don't knock the kazakhsIt's common practice out there (and other similar places) to just wave down passing cars for a (paid) lift somewhere, even for day trips.
One time my friend and I wanted to spend an afternoon up in the mountains and so we stopped an old boy driving his Lada and asked for a lift.
He tottered out of the car, opened the boot, withdrew a piece of stick, took the balled up silver foil stopper out of the fuel filler and dipped his stick in.
Pulling it out, looking carefully at the level he smiled and nodded to us; yes, he could drive us to the mountains...
